Oh man, your SIL is sounding more and more of a control freak the more you update this Lisha

Good on you and your DH for opting out!
The more I think about this, the more it annoys me - Christmas is sposed to be fun!
By the way, your girls' playhouse sounds very cool. I'd be pretty excited too. I'm wondering if it's too early to buy a train set this Christmas .... I could say it's for DH .... ?
